Lesson Overview CellTransport
Passive Transport The movement of materials across the cell membrane without using cellular energy is called passive transport.
Lesson Overview CellTransport
Diffusion The process by which particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration is known as diffusion. - form of passive transport - particles move down the concentration gradient
Lesson Overview CellTransport
Facilitated Diffusion Some molecules that cannot directly diffuse across the membrane pass through special protein channels in a process known as facilitated diffusion. - protein channels are molecule specific - form of passive transport - particles move down concentration gradient
Lesson Overview CellTransport
Osmosis: An Example of Facilitated Diffusion
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. - water moves down concentration gradient - passive
Lesson Overview CellTransport
Osmosis: An Example of Facilitated Diffusion
Hypertonic - higher concentration of solute; low concentration of solvent (water)
Hypotonic - lower concentration of solute; high concentration of solvent (water)
Isotonic - equal concentrations of solute
Lesson Overview CellTransport
Osmotic Pressure The net movement of water in or out of a cell exerts a force known as osmotic pressure.
Lesson Overview CellTransport
Osmotic Pressure Because the cell is filled with salts, sugars, proteins, and other molecules, it is almost always hypertonic to fresh water. So if a cell is in fresh water, water tends to move quickly into the cell, causing it to swell or even burst.
Lesson Overview CellTransport
Osmotic Pressure In plants, the movement of water into the cell causes the central vacuole to swell, pushing cell contents out against the cell wall.
Lesson Overview CellTransport
Osmotic Pressure Cells in an isotonic solution experience no net gain or loss of water.
Lesson Overview CellTransport
In a hypertonic solution, water rushes out of the cell, causing animal cells to shrink and plant cell vacuoles to collapse.

Lesson Overview CellTransport
Active Transport The movement of materials against or up a concentration difference is
known as active transport. - requires energy (ATP).
Lesson Overview CellTransport
Active Transport active transport of small molecules or ions happens via transport proteins, or protein “pumps,” in the membrane.
calcium, potassium, and sodium ions use this transport. - example: sodium potassium
pump protein shape changes are important in the process.
Lesson Overview CellTransport
Active Transport: Bulk Transport Bulk Transport moves larger molecules and clumps of material across cell membranes. - requires energy (ATP) - forms: 1. endocytosis a. pinocytosis b. phagocytosis 2. exocytosis
Lesson Overview CellTransport
Endocytosis process of taking material into the cell by vesicles or vacuoles
Lesson Overview CellTransport
Endocytosis Types of endocytosis: 1. phagocytosis - cytoplasm extensions surround a particle and package it within a food vacuole. The cell then engulfs it. Amoebas eat this way. means “cell eating”
2. pinocytosis - cells form tiny pockets along the cell membrane. The pockets fill with liquid and pinch off to form vacuoles within the cell. means “cell drinking”
